Auto Accident & Whiplash Chiropractic Care

At the Family Chiropractic and Wellness Center in Commerce Township, Dr. Jason Ellis helps sufferers of Whiplash and other auto accident injuries find permanent pain relief. By treating the root cause, Dr. Ellis offers long-term relief for Whiplash and other spinal injuries. Using cutting-edge, safe, and effective Chiropractic methods, Dr. Ellis identifies the origin of your injuries and provides gentle treatments to relieve your symptoms for good.

Typically, Whiplash is caused by a rapid or sudden force that causes your head to snap or "whip" back and forth. The trauma causes damage to the soft tissue in your neck, and even the Cervical vertebrates, that altogether leads to severe neck pain, numbness, and stiffness. The most common causes of Whiplash include:

• Auto accidents
• Amusement park rides
• Severe shaking or being struck in the head area
• Violent, high-contact sports
• Horseback riding

Common Whiplash symptoms include:

• Extreme neck pain
• Stiffness (complete lack of motion in head and neck)
• Swelling in the area of damage
• Dizziness
• Blurred vision
• Pain and stiffness in the shoulders and head
• Numbness or weakness in your arms

There are a wide range of methods used to diagnose and treat Whiplash, many of which only mask the pain instead of addressing the root cause of your Whiplash. Invasive and dangerous treatments such as surgery and pain meds are an option, but only through Chiropractic treatments can you properly diagnose and reverse the effects of Whiplash without harmful surgery or pain pills.

Our methods to diagnose and treat your Whiplash symptoms:

• Comprehensive X-rays to identify damage and misalignments to the Cervical vertebrates and soft tissue
• Personal evaluation of the neck and spine to determine levels of pain, discomfort, and flexibility
• Provide gentle and focused adjustments to your neck and spine using the Activator tool
• If needed, spinal decompression therapy to remove interference in the vertebrae and restore flexibility

Dr. Jason Ellis is one of the few Whiplash Chiropractors in the Commerce area who uses an Activator tool to locate and correct misalignments in the spine. This safe and effective tool provides concentrated and gentle thrusts to the misaligned or herniated areas of the vertebrae, helping to restore normal nerve function and removing pressure from your muscles and ligaments. Ultimately, this means you are getting effective treatments for your Whiplash without painful twisting or cracking!

Our advanced Activator tool delivers acute and precise adjustments to the spine and neck, making it the preferred method of diagnosing and treating Whiplash symptoms and other auto accident related injuries.
